that hole in my soul that kept me distraught

in search of excuses for what i was not

tangled up and ready to give up, is healing nicely and all filled up

see when i stopped pretending on what i wanted to be and in quiet reflection the veil was lifted from me

then the little scared man came down from his tree and asked for help

damn it came running from all around, the general consensus was ”we were waiting to be invited in, not to berate or belittle but to befriend, but you had to open the door”

from that day forward everything has changed, a life that was so complicated now seems mundane and that empty lonely feeling has gone away and been replaced with gratitude and praise

thank-you for not giving up on me, Lord
